the road near a speed limit sign. Brian and Terrie Seech of the Center

the witness recreated the event, while Terrie Seech stood where the
figure would have been. Terrie was barely noticeable from Route 30 as they
passed. The witness stated that the creature was just under the speed

away. The witness estimated the creature to stand 7 to 8 foot
talk, covered in light fur that had a reddish color in the sunlight. The

for a creature to move through the area with little or no detection.

Spring of 1990 near Shaler:
Young boys discovered
what they believed to be two deer killed by a Bigfoot at the top of a steep
ravine. Two very fresh deer carcasses were poorly stowed up under some
undergrowth. The adult doe had three broken legs, one of the rear legs almost
completely twisted off. The fawn had an obvious broken back. At the time
we never thought of a Bigfoot related deer kill. Years later (about 3
years ago) one of the witnesses stumbled across an article on Bigfoot and deer
kills. Before seeing the photos we knew that what we found that day matched
exactly what the article described. The boys did go back (shortly
after-- possibly same day) to the "scene of the crime" to come
up with a better explanation but the carcasses were gone - no drag marks,
blood, etc.. Aside from the broken bones, there were no evident wounds on
either deer; definitely not a dog-kill.
